augh, yes the first day of school is a big one! congrats to ALL of you for surviving and really, over coming the jitters and nerves!
i am still vehemently against all day kindergarten. i think our government should be subsidizing daycare, but maybe that's a conversation for another day!
mama lola recently posted..more road trip shenanigans; heading back south!
Aww! And it doesn't stop at JK. Our school had to reorganize classes (based on the Ministry of Ed's number game) and about 40 of our kids made the move today (no kindies though). Several "big kids" had parents who came in to help with (?) the transition and a couple had tears! That's parents, not kids! While I was definitely sympathetic, reading your post makes me get it a little more. Luckily, like E, I think everyone had a good day in their new digs.
And I think it's so cool that when E is older he will have your detailed memories of his first day of JK!
Yeah, I hope he will someday enjoy reading all this. And yeah, week two reorganization is a schmozzle. We should all be doing what Kortright Hills did (day camp format with all different teachers for the first week, including mixed-age activities… so progressive! community-building!).
Awww! Congrats to E and his parents! What a day!
